Winds cause Lawrence tree branch to fall on Trenton woman's car

LAWRENCE — A Trenton woman was left unscathed but her car windshield broken when several large tree branches fell on her vehicle as she drove down Route 206 yesterday, police said.

The branches were likely downed by yesterday’s heavy winds.

“It was just an act of nature,” Sgt. Chris Longo said.

Lena Testa, 41, was driving south approaching the 2800 block of Lawrence Road shortly before 11:15 a.m. when “multiple large tree branches” struck the car, Longo said. The boughs caused a hole in the front windshield, and damage to the front hood and dashboard, police said.

Testa was unhurt and able to drive from the scene after the branches were cleared.
